Question

Match the functions f(x, y, z) with the description of their gradients. No reasons needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. C points radially outward from origin

2. A. Points radially outward from z origin

3. D. Radially inwards toward origin

4. B. Inwards towards the z axis

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

X²+y²+z² = f(x,y,z)

Vector P<x,y,z>

2<x,y,z> = 2p

The answer is c points radially outward from origin

2.

X²+y² = f(x,y)

<2x,2y,0>

Points radially outward from z axis

3.

D. Points radially inwards toward origin

4.

B. Points radially inwards toward the z axis.
